Gurupoornima (Guru's day)
Gurupoornima is an important day for all of us to show our gratitude to the master who blessed us and imparted knowledge of the inner self. Every year it is celebrated in presence of Shree Swamiji. It is usually a 3 days residential program at different places in India.
Gurupurnima'2007 Message - H. H. Shivkrupanand Swami
Blessings to all pious souls,
Generally when we start our journey with someone; we know, we understand that individual before we start following him. It is not enough just to follow that individual. You are neither bound with my physical body nor have I tied you with any chain. That means bondage between us is not at “Physical level”. Basically, if you will understand this, you will understand what I am telling you further. The bond between you and me is at “Soul level”. And body is not very important when bond is at Soul level.
It makes no difference where my physical body is or where your physical body is. Physically I may be very far off from you but I am very close to you with my Chitta (attention). I am always worried, whether children at distant places who are busy doing Gurukarya are getting their meal at noon or not as those who are closer will demand it anyways. Illusion of my physical body does not allow you to see what is beyond this physical body, what is behind this physical body. This is a Golden opportunity for you to see beyond this physical body, to take your attention on that “Subtle body”; this mortal body is just a medium.
You have to understand that “Subtle body”. Only because of that “subtle body”, thousands of people get attracted towards this physical body. Even if you will try to think why you get attracted, you will be able reach to the Subtle body. Today is the day to establish relationship with that “Subtle body”. It is my pure wish that you all succeed in establishing bond with that “Subtle body”.
Yours,
Baba Swami
